1587491 - Update try commands for pushing to Talos/DAMP in DevTools documentation

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Documentation, task, P3)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

The DevTools documentation currently suggests using

./mach try -b o -p linux64 -u none -t damp --rebuild-talos 5 --artifact

to push DAMP tests to try.

However it seems that the decision job can sometimes be picky (buggy?) and decide to not run any job if no file has changed.

For instance sometimes you want to do a first "baseline" push without any custom commit, and then another push with your fixes. When using try syntax, this baseline push will very often be without any job. Example: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=83838d09004c288b9cafca2182bb6e56ad02e845, (decision job log)

We should update the documentation to suggest using ./mach try fuzzy which seems to consistently run the expected jobs.
